We wanted to make sure she kept her African heritage, as well as adding some of our Spanish culture... I searched for a name that had true meaning. "Anaya" is an African name that means "prayer answered by God" or "look up to God". This meaning spoke volumes to me and my mothers middle name is Isabel..
The mere fact that my husband wanted to adopt again is a miracle and a prayer that was answered by God.
So her name will be....

Congratulations on your newest adoption process. I love the name, beautiful. We just got home with our 9 year old and used the same agency you are with. I found your blog on the ethiopian adoption yahoo group.
